So the Director from L4D?

It's literally a dude named Joel.

he did a good job cleaning up the place, but his bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space

Was there a level of "meta" in the Director of L4D? My understanding was that handled the flow of an individual match, but there wasn't influences of the matches on other matches.

Since this is about the overall campaign that encompasses a level above the individual matches.

Not from what I recall. It is neat how each HD2 mission contributes to the state of the in game universe. Just reminded me of the Director from L4D taken to the next level.

No, as per the article, this is a person pulling strings.
